As Saints of Old

The Church of Christ is calling us To make the dream come true: A world redeemed by Christ-like love; All life in Christ made new. 3 In gratitude and humble trust We bring our best today, To serve Your cause and share Your love With all along life’s way. O God, who gave yourself to us In Jesus Christ Your Son, Teach us to give ourselves each day Until life’s work is done. Tune Title: REGWAL
